Persist Persist is a far cry from something like Animate Dead, since it's restricted to just your graveyard and it can only hit nonlegendary creatures which is significant in Commander
Ill never forget when I first evolved my Magikarp into a Gyarados, not having any idea what it would turn into, motivated by its magic name alone

Here's how the deck looks with the upgrades added: Also to pre-emptively address some comments: one direction that you can take the upgrades is to really lean into Sliver Gravemother's encore ability and turn the deck into a straight-up Encore deck -- Buried Alive and Entomb cards to put slivers into your graveyard, Convergence of Dominion and Zirda, the Dawnwaker to make encore cost less (though PSA Training Grounds doesn't work, I see people suggesting it but sorry no), Mondrak, Glory Dominus to double the encore tokens, Sundial of the Infinite to keep the encore tokens permanently -- that sounds sweet and all but you'd need to do a massive rework of this entire precon, turning it from a Go Wide Sliver Combat deck to Sliver Reanimator essentially
The set also introduced a new type of card, the Pokmon Prime
